Mekong Dawn Cruise 3 days : Phnom Penh to Siem Reap
Day 1: Phnom Penh – Oudong – Kampong Tralach
Your cruise begins at 9:00am from your hotel where we will collect you and transfer you to our private dock and onto the Mekong Dawn boat. Onboard you will be met by our Cruise Manager with a welcome drink and checked into your cabins. Once onboard, the boat sets sail for a gentle cruise down the river to the ancient Cambodian capital of Oudong. We dock at Koh Chen ‘Chinese Island’, a small village whose inhabitants specialize in silver and copper smiting. You will be transferred to the nearby Oudong Mountain, where a brisk climb takes you to one of the finest views in the Kingdom. From 1618 to 1866 this served as Cambodia’s capital city and an array of interesting stupas, tombs and memorials remain. When back at the boat, guests will enjoy a sundowner as the boat move forward to Kampong Tralach a local rural area with a natural beauty amongst the rice paddy. We enjoy dinner here before retiring for the night.
Day 2: Kampong Tralach – Kg Chhnang
After a hearty breakfast, we will experience an Ox Cart ride – a traditional mode of transport that is still commonly used in rural areas today to visit Kampong Tralach Temple which was built in 1841. After the visit to the temple, we return back to Mekong Dawn and continue the journey toward Kampong Chhnang This town is famous for fish farming and pottery ware. Upon arrival guests will transfer to land via a smaller boat to visit the pottery village, tuk tuks will be used to get around the villages – the perfect way to watch the stunning scenery of this province. Think emerald green paddies dotted with sugar palms, water buffaloes lazily grazing in shimmering, lotus-lined ponds, and smiling children screaming ‘hello’ from the stilted wooden houses they call home. After the tour, return back to Mekong Dawn for a leisurely evening on board with dinner and drinks served amongst the scenic spot along the river.
Day 3: Chnouk Tru – Kompong Thom – Siem Reap
The boat will begin its gentle ride toward Chnouk Tru as the sun rises, but you can take your time to rise for breakfast as you feel comfortable. Upon arrival we will hop onto a smaller boat that will take us to the unique Chnouk Tru floating village, which sits on the expansive Tonle Sap Lake. Here we will see the fishing communities that live their life on the water, with floating schools, temples and homes aplenty. After that we will navigate along Stung Sean River towards Kompong Thom Province where we will stop for lunch before being transfer to Siem Reap by a private air-conditioned car. The drive from Kompong Thom to Siem Reap will take around 1.5 hours and offers a glimpse into the laid back rural life. We will arrive in Siem Reap to your hotel around 2:30pm where your trip ends.
